Part 2: Comprehension (5 marks)

Questions 6 to 10.
Read the text carefully in each question. Choose the best answer A, B, or C.
For each question, circle the correct answer.

Do you have an old pair of jeans that you don't wear anymore? Are you planning to
throw them away? Find out how they are made first - and you’ll see why it's a good idea to
recycle them!
A lot of water and energy is needed to make one pair of jeans. Jeans are made from a
material called denim, and denim is made from a plant called cotton. Cotton grows in warm
wet countries like China, India and Brazil. It takes about six months for a cotton seed to grow
into a plant and produce cotton.
Cotton needs a lot of water to make it grow - some of this comes from rain, but when
the weather is dry, farmers need to water the plants. After the cotton is harvested, it is
transported to a factory and made into yarn. Indigo dye is then used to colour the yarn - indigo
gives the jeans their dart blue colour. After that, the yarn is made into denim material, which is
cut to make jeans.

Lots of people like stonewashed jeans. To make these. jeans are then put into a
washing machine and washed with stones to make them soft and more comfortable.
Stonewashing can also change the colour of the denim to light blue. Finally. the jeans
are packed into boxes and transported all over the world. Jeans travel up to 60,000 kilometres
to reach the shops, where you can buy them! Almost half of the jeans made in the world are
sold in the USA. Last year, people there bought 450 million pairs of jeans.

To make one pair of jeans, 10,000 litres of water and many other resources are used -
resources are all the things you need to make or do something, like energy, materials and
people to do the work. So, we really shouldn't throw away old jeans just because they're too
small or because we have a new pair. But what can you do with an old pair of jeans?

Here are some suggestions:

✓ Give them to friends or family.
✓ Take them to a charity shop.
✓ Have a swapping party, where people exchange things, they do not need, like clothes
or books.
✓ Make them into a new creation, like a bag or a toy. Give your jeans a new life!

6. Why are jeans sometimes stonewashed?

A. to clean the jeans
B. to make it last longer
C. to make it more comfortable
